Step-by-Step Guide to Bringing Your New
Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy Home

Step 1: Contact US

It’s best to use the puppy application, as it helps us better understand your needs and lifestyle so we can find you the perfect puppy—especially if you're looking for a specific breed like a Miniature Australian Shepherd.

Step 2:We will Call You

Once we receive your application, we’ll call you within 48 hours to discuss your ideal Miniature Australian Shepherd and answer any questions about us.

Step 3:Contract & deposit

We will send you our contract to read and sign so you know what to expect from us during the process. Once the contract is signed, you can submit your deposit to secure your spot on the waitlist.

Step 4: Puppies are Born!

Once the puppies are born and we have confirmed their health, we will notify you when it’s your turn to select a puppy from the litter. If the timing doesn’t work for you, we can transfer your deposit to the next litter.

Step 5:Puppy Selection

When the puppies reach 4 to 5 weeks old, we’ll begin observing their personalities and temperaments, allowing us to help match you with the best puppies for your lifestyle. We will present you with the top 2 to 3 puppies that we believe would be a good fit, and you can choose the one you prefer.

Our Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppies are ready to go home at 8 weeks of age. 

 

We will help you schedule the pick-up at our house.

How Does Your Waitlist Work?

Our waitlist is organized on a first-come, first-served basis. It is determined by the date your contract is signed and your deposit is received, whichever happens last.

 

To simplify the process, we separate our waitlists based on your preferences, including the puppy's sex (male, female, or open to either) and, if applicable, the specific litter you’d like to reserve from.

Prepare for your
Miniature Australian Shepherd 

​Bringing home a new puppy is such an exciting time!

Along with picking out treats, toys, and a stylish collar, it’s essential to plan ahead for potty training, crate training, and choosing the right food for your new Mini Aussie.  

We’ve created an email series packed with helpful resources and tips to make this transition as smooth as possible. These emails cover everything from selecting the best dog food (and where to find it) to deworming schedules, housetraining tips, and more.

Our goal is to help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way as your puppy moves from our home to yours.  

Remember, we’re always here for you! Feel free to call or text us anytime with questions or concerns.
